sections purchased as demand grows.

Design StrengthWe were the first UK Manufacturer to pass UK
and European wind loading standards with our
Pole Marquees. This means that they are
designed to withstand wind speeds of up to
36m/s (or 80mph) – which is the same as our
Clear Span Frame Marquees.
We use high strength webbing at all tension
points to improve performance and increase
the life of the Marquee
Our king & wall pole eyelets are stainless steel
– not brass – as they can be holding up to 6
thicknesses of fabric. They are designed to
avoid damage and tearing.
Fabric SpecificationOur Pole Marquees are available in natural
materials such as Polycotton Canvas, or man
made fabrics such as PVC. All fabrics are Fire
Retardant, UV stabilised & anti-fungal.
Polycotton Canvas is stronger and lighter than
canvas.
No LeaksOur Polycotton Canvas Pole Marquees do not
leak after they have been conditioned. This is
because we sew the seams using a ‘Double
French Seaming’ technique, anti-wick thread
and small needle. It may take longer to sew,
but we believe it is worth it!

Quick & Easy Construction MethodsOur Pole Marquees are designed to be constructed quickly,
using either ‘pull up’ or ‘push up’ methods. Even our pull up
system enables the king poles to go up together.
To make life easier our systems apply double purchase
tackles at the lace points, corners and intermediary points
giving you 4 times body weight when pulling the tent out.
For example, a 12m x 24m Pole Marquee can be constructed
in 4 – 5 hours using a crew of 3 people! And you only need a
3.5ton vehicle to transport the Marquee.
We can train you and your team to construct and maintain
your Marquee at our works address (near Junction 6, M25).
Poles, Pegs, Ropes & FinialsWe use natural and sustainable materials to enhance the
traditional aspect of our marquees.
Traditional Pole Marquee – King Poles are treated
Scandanvian Pine, wall poles are Redwood. Aluminium
poles are also available.
Tensioned Pole Marquee – Aluminium King Poles with
Wooden Wall Poles are used throughout.
Pegs – 30” mushroom headed iron guy stakes, 15” wooden
wall pegs
Ropes – hempex style, polypropylene or ratchet guys (white
or natural webbing colours)
Finials – range of finials for King or Wall Poles

Traditional Pole Marquees have been familiar throughout the UK
for over 600 years. Our design has been developed and tested on site over the
last 70 years!
Big Top Marquees whether single pole or traditional, our Big tops are
a big hit with festivals and larger functions. 15m (50’) and 18m (60’) spans
available with a range of fabric and colour choices.
Tensioned Pole Marquees sport an attractive scooped ridge line
bringing the traditional shape up to date. No ridge poles are used and the
structure is tensioned using ratchet guys. This style of Marquee has wall poles
at 1.5m or 2m spacings (unlike Traditional Pole’s which are 1m), making the
space around the Marquee relatively free of obstructions.
Linings. Pole Marquees are so attractive some clients prefer them unlined.
For those who require linings we offer flat or pleated wall linings, valances,
flashes and drapes as well as King Poles covers.
Choice of SizesSpans range from 3.5m to 18m; standard spans are 3.5m, 4.5m, 6m, 9m, 12m,
15m and 18m
• Bay lengths 3m, 4.5m (small marquee only) and 6m (6m+ span).
• Standard Eave Height is 2.2m, but we offer a wide range.
Custom Made We have undertaken a number of Custom Made Fabric
Structures over the years. Whether you need tents for posh camping
(glamping), a digital funfair, courtyard canopy or theatre project; we can help!
We work with our customers on the design, prototyping and manufacture of
their commission. We create a CAD drawing with full specification when
designing and manufacturing bespoke Fabric Structures.
With our wealth of experience in the Industry we are well positioned to advise
on all aspects of Marquee construction and maintenance such as risk
assessments, resource requirements and industry bodies.
